'Kirsty' by Hamish Brown The yelled name, "Kirsty", jarred When heard in the London Street. Her stilettos stabbed on flagstones - cut from her Grandfather's hill! She doesn't know that of course Her world is din, fizz and gloss That keeps her far too occupied To understand her loss. Poor Kirsty has never seen a bracken brae Or ancestral stones west of Stornoway. Hamish is a member of the Braes of Fife Club and Individual member of MCofS. This poem won 1st prize in the 2001 Mountain Article Competition. competition details
